If you are saying that my remarks about Bill Hall are untrue or
inaccurate, then you are just blind as to what has been going on in
Crossville.
The USCF has lost $500,000 since Bill Hall has been Executive Director
and is losing $300,000 so far this year. (Hall was hired just a few
weeks before Channing came on the board.) Besides, the USCF Issues
Forum has rules. The Rules are that one is not allowed to call a
person a liar (even though they are) nor is one allowed to accuse
somebody of "unethical conduct".
I did neither. I merely stated that Bill Hall is incompetent, lazy,
unqualified, inexperienced and often out "sick". All of this is true
and none of this calls him a liar. Thus, my posting did not violate
any rules and thus I should not be sanctioned, suspended or banned for
writing and posting it.

I am glad to. Here are the five posts, in their entirety, that got me
banned from posting for ONE YEAR. Please tell me what is wrong with

You fail to understand. Yes, we need to cut expenses, but the place to
cut is not to cut the magazine which is the only benefit most members
receive.
We need to cut staff. We have a bloated, overpaid and under-worked
staff. We have a lazy, unqualified and incompetent Executive Director
who had never even worked in an office before he was hired as
Executive Director and is often out "sick". At the May 20, 2007 board
meeting at Stillwater Oklahoma I asked him to provide a simple list of
how many employees we have and brief job descriptions. Bill Hall
refused to answer the questions or to provide the list. We still do
not know how many employees we have. We still do not know what
happened to the $2 million we had in a money market fund in 1999 that
subsequently disappeared. In 2003 we had 23 employees and we also had
$6 million in revenues. Now, I understand that we have 28 employees
and only $3.1 million in revenues. Why will nobody answer the
questions about where all the money went? Why are we taking about
eliminating one magazine and cutting the other, both of which are
produced out of the office, when we should be talking about cutting
our payroll?

Talk about self-serving, please note that she says that Channing
agrees with her, but it was Channing who did the things she complains
about.
It was Channing's idea to play $50,000 to upgrade the website and he
had us hire an Internet guru to tell us how to do that.
It was also Channing's idea that we pay $15,000 for "Internet
Insurance".
It was also Channing's idea to spend $10,000 to fly all the USCF
insiders to Florida for a "retreat".
In short, most of the wasteful expenditures that Susan complains about
were done by Channing who is now her ally.
Also, recall that after making a brief presentation at the Finance
Committee Workshop in Cherry Hill, Channing said, "If you have any
questions, I will be in the bar."
He is still in the bar and he has never answered any of our questions.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
__________________________________________
Sam Sloan,
Plaintiff,
Civil Action No. 07-CV-8537 (DC)
-against-
Hoainhan "Paul" Truong, Zsuzsanna "Susan" Polgar,
Joel Channing, William Goichberg, The United States
Chess Federation, Bill Hall, Herbert Rodney Vaughn,
Gregory Alexander, Frank Niro, Grant Perks, William
Brock, Randall Hough, Randy Bauer, Jim Berry,
Texas Tech University and United States of America,
Defendants
__________________________________________
AFFIDAVIT IN OPPOSITION TO MOTION
TO DISMISS ON FEDERAL QUESTIONS ISSUE
__________________________________________
Samuel H. Sloan, the plaintiff herein, being duly sworn, deposes and
says:
1. I make this affidavit in opposition to the motion by various
defendants to dismiss this action on the grounds of lack of a federal
question.
2. Frankly, I consider the issues raised by the moving defendants to
be frivolous. There are a great abundance of federal questions here. I
think the defendants are just trying to buy time and to convince their
clients that they are doing the best they can.
3. The United States Chess Federation ("USCF") has 86,000 members.
Every state of the 50 states have members, with the least being
Wyoming with more than 50 members. The USCF represents the United
States of America internationally. We are the equivalent to the United
States Olympic Committee, except that instead of representing the USA
in hundreds of sports, we only represent the USA in one activity,
chess.
4. It is obvious that if the United States Olympic Committee or any
other comparable organization such as the National Football League or
the National Basketball Association had experienced the massive
election fraud, identity theft, online forgery, impersonations,
misappropriations of funds and so on as have characterized the USCF in
the past two years, the FBI would have moved in already and started
making arrests. There would be people in jail now. This has not
happened because there is not that much interest in chess.
5. There have been three forensic reports produced thus far. There are
the Mottershead Report, the Jones Report and the Ulevitch Report.
These three reports all reach the same conclusion. The Mottershead
Report has proved absolutely, conclusively that Hoainhan "Paul" Truong
sent 2464 fake or forged Internet postings over a two year period from
June 25, 2005 until October, 2007. That is two thousand four hundred
sixty four postings, most of which impersonated me, Sam Sloan,
although some of them impersonated Ray Gordon, Andrew Zito and other
real or fake personalities.
6. As to why I in particular would be the target of most of these
impersonations, the best way to explain it is that I am the equivalent
of the "Jack Anderson" of chess. Jack Anderson as you will recall was
a newspaper columnists reporting on J. Edgar Hoover's apparent ties to
the Mafia, Watergate, the John F. Kennedy assassination, the Nixon
Administration, the Savings and Loan scandal, the CIA plans to
assassinate Fidel Castro, the Iran-Contra affair and so on. He was a
crusader against corruption. Henry Kissinger called Jack Anderson "the
most dangerous man in America". The USCF Insiders such as Bill
Goichberg have the same view of me as Richard Nixon had of Jack
Anderson.
7. Because I have a wide readership, anybody wanting to bring down the
USCF leadership might decide to impersonate me. Paul Truong is a
complete nobody in the world of chess. When he started impersonating
me, nobody would have bothered to read anything written by him.
Therefore, when he wanted to attack somebody he would sign my name
rather than his own name to his postings. Over the period of two and a
half years, Truong, whom we now know to have been "The Fake Sam Sloan"
as he was called, attacked virtually every significant chess
personality except for Paul Truong, Susan Polgar and Joel Channing.
The fact that he never attacked Joel Channing is one of the reasons
that I believe that Joel Channing was in on this from the beginning.
8. I wish to emphasize that it is 100% proven that Paul Truong did
this. Not merely 99% sure, not merely "beyond reasonable doubt", but
absolutely 100% certain, no doubt at all.
9. Next, the motivation. The motivation is clear: He did it to attack
the rivals of his wife, Susan Polgar, and ultimately to seize control
of the financial assets of the United States Chess Federation, which
has $3.2 million in annual revenues.
10. One of the most frequent targets of attack by "The Fake Sam Sloan"
is Beatriz Marinello, a woman chess grandmaster and President of the
United States Chess Federation from 2003 to 2005. The Fake Sam Sloan
has called her a "bulldyke" one hundred times in Internet postings
over a period of two years. Paul Truong, this time not in disguise,
went to the Scholastic Counsel and other scholastic groups and told
them that Marinello was a lesbian. Truong also called me, Sam Sloan,
on the phone in 2004 and told me that Marinello was a lesbian.
11. Most of the postings by the Fake Sam Sloan, whom we now know to be
Truong, contained sexual references, usually making claims about the
sexual preferences of the targets. For example, Grandmaster Alexandria
Kosteniuk, a Russian girl who lives in Florida, is called "a Lolita".
Truong also conducted a campaign to kick Kosteniuk's name off the USCF
Rating lists, since Kostenuik was rated higher than Susan Polgar (who
falsely claims to be a "world champion") and to kick the picture of
Kosteniuk out of Chess Life magazine to be replaced by pictures of
Polgar. (In 2004-2005 most issues of Chess Life magazine had pictures
of Kosteniuk. In 2006-2007 almost every issue of Chess Life had
pictures of Polgar.)
12. Among the most frequent other targets of attack by The Fake Sam
Sloan were US Woman's Champion Jennifer Shahade, former USCF President
Don Schultz, and Chairman of the Seattle Chess Foundation Erik
Anderson.
13. Please remember that most of these thousands of attacks were
signed "Sam Sloan". It thus appeared that I, the Real Sam Sloan, was
attacking all of these people. Also, the 2464 "Fake Sam Sloan"
postings found by the Mottershead Report to have been made by Paul
Truong were crossposted to two and sometimes three usenet groups,
rec.games.chess.politics , rec.games.chess.misc and alt.chess. Thus,
counting the crosspostings, there were more than five thousand
postings. These postings were not made on just one website located in
just one state. They were made on Usenet and broadcast all over the
entire world and picked up and preserved in every country of the
world. The total readership of these postings was at least in the
hundreds of thousands and probably in the millions.
14. In challenging the jurisdiction of this court to consider this
issue, the defendants have cited exactly one case. Best Van Lines,
Inc. v. Walker, 490 F.3d 239 (2d Cir. 2007). However, that case does
not lead to the conclusion they seek, for several reasons.
15. Best Van Lines, Inc. v. Walker, 490 F.3d 239 (2d Cir. 2007)
involved a website in Iowa that posts reviews of moving companies. I
have looked at this website and it contains statements such as "this
moving company scratched my furniture", "that moving company lost my
suitcase" and so on. I have yet to find a favorable review of any
moving company on that website.
16. Best Van Lines is a moving company located in New York that was
subjected to allegedly defamatory remarks by the Walker website in
Iowa. As a result, suit was filed in the Southern District of New
York.
17. The District Court ruled and the Second Circuit affirmed that Best
Van Lines must sue in Iowa, where the Walker website is located. By
analogy, this is similar to a case of a small-town in newspaper in
Iowa that has a few readers in New York.
18. However, the case presented here is different for a number of
reasons. One is that the defamatory postings were not made on a simple
website. They were broadcast and propagated all around the world in
every country of the world. In the Best Van Lines case, if the
computer hosting the Walker website were to crash, nobody in the
entire world would be able to see it any more. However, in the case
presented here, if one computer or even one hundred computers crash,
the Truong postings will still be visible in many other places.
Indeed, when Truong was apprehended, he stayed up all night in Mexico
City where he was at the time trying to delete as many of these
postings as he possibly could. He was able to delete many of them from
Google Newsgroups, because that is where he had first posted them, but
he still has not been able to delete them from Forte Inc. Agent, from
Giganews.com or from the many other services that carry these
newsgroups.
19. William Brock in his motion to dismiss states that his postings
which in general stated that I am a child molester were all posted
from his CPA Office in the Chicago Loop. However, the location of his
personal computer is of little moment. What is important is where he
posted them. Not only did he post them on the Usenet groups around the
world, but he posted them on such places as the New York Times website
which is obviously located in New York State.
20. An example of Brock's postings on the New York Times website is
at:
http://gambit.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/10/08/the-lawsuit-against-polgar-and-truong-et-al-a-forum/
21. There, you will see numerous postings by William Brock on the New
York Times website where he provides links to places where, he claims,
one can find proof that I am a child molester and a child
pornographer. Mr. Brock is obviously a sick, disturbed man. Clearly,
Mr. Brock cannot now claim that the New York courts have no
jurisdiction over this.
22. Best Van Lines, Inc. v. Walker, 490 F.3d 239, 250-51 (2d Cir.
2007) involved a moving company in New York complaining about a
website in Iowa. However, in the case before this court, defendants
have made a point of posting on forums read by the widest possible
readership which are broadcast Worldwide. Even after the filing and
service of this lawsuit, Defendant William Brock has made defamatory
postings to the New York Times website which is, of course, located in
New York. The New York Times has published ten articles about this
case, three in the paper print version of the newspaper and the other
seven on the online or "Gambit Blog" of the Newspaper. William Brock
has continued posting his defamatory material accusing me of being a
pornographer to these New York Times Gambit Blogs even while this case
has been pending before this court. The first of these articles in the
New York Times was "Chess Group Officials Accused of Using Internet to
Hurt Rivals" by DYLAN LOEB McCLAIN Published: October 8, 2007 Kindly
take a look at it.
23. Similarly, William Brock has posted these claims that I am a child
molester to the "Daily Dirt" column of the chessninja.com website
which is based in New York and operated by Mig Greengard in Greenwich
Village, New York City and he has posted to the Susan Polgar Blogspot
at susanpolgar.blogspot.com during which time and until approximately
May, 2007 Susan Polgar resided in Rego Park, Queens, New York. Mr.
Brock has posted 97 times to my biography on the Wikipedia
Encyclopedia. Most importantly, William Brock has posted thousands of
times since 2004 to the Internet Usenet groups
rec.games.chess.politics and rec.games.chess.misc . These Usenet
postings are not maintained at any one location. They are propagated
and broadcast all over the world. If one computer crashes there will
be plenty of others to back it up. That is the reason why the Internet
is called "the World Wide Web". Although Google Newsgroups is the most
popular place to post to and view these newsgroups, there are many
others including Forte Agent and Giganews.
24. There is a big difference between the Bill Brock postings and the
Paul Truong postings. Bill Brock signs his own name. He openly states
that he is the poster and has many times challenged and dared me to
sue him.
25. Paul Truong, however, signs MY NAME to his postings. He says that
he is me. This is a much more serious case of Internet Identity Theft,
Forgery and Impersonation.
26. Paul Truong does post under his own name on the USCF Issues Forum
on the uschess.org website, because Fake-Name postings are not allowed
there (This rule was enacted to stop Herbert Rodney Vaughn who posts
as tanstaafl from posting his anonymous attacks on me.) Here is a
posting by Truong on Tue Jul 25, 2006 11:32 am #16962
Well, as a life member of the USCF and someone who devote a lot of
time, energy and money to promote scholastic chess, and someone with
children playing chess, the background of a board member is vital to
me, especially when someone has a horrific sexual history with minors.
You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. Sam Sloan
is a danger to my children, the young members of the USCF and a
serious legal liability to the USCF. Frankly, it appalls me the there
are people who are willing to close their eyes and accept this
monster.
27. As we now know, the real danger to Truong's children is Paul
Truong himself because two judges of the Queens Family Court, Judge
Rhea Friedman and Referee Mildred T. Negron, have issued orders of
protection prohibiting Paul Truong and Susan Polgar from inflicting
corporal punishment on their children for refusing to play chess. I
have never received any such order of this nature from any judge.
28. Not only has Bill Brock stated that I am a child molester thousand
of times on the public newgroups, but he was also allowed to post that
on the USCF website:
by billbrock on Fri Jul 21, 2006 11:19 am #16303
For the record: Sam Sloan is a convicted felon. His two felony
convictions directly impacted the safety and well-being of his
children, but were not sexual in nature AFAIK.
For the record: I maintain that Sloan is a child molester by his self-
admitted conduct. He has never been convicted of such.
29. On this last point, I ask this court to search Lexus-Nexus and
find the 6-3 decision by the Virginia Court of Appeals which affirmed
my conviction. Please read carefully the opinion by the three
dissenting judges. That dissenting opinion makes it clear that I was
not remotely guilty of anything and could not possibly have been
convicted in a properly conducted trial with a proper defense.
30. All this pertains to just one count of the complaint, namely the
thousands of Internet postings by Truong and Brock impersonating me or
calling me a "child molester" and other names.
31. There are four other counts to the complaint, numerous sub-counts
and numerous causes of action.
32. One of these concerns the criminal theft by Truong and Polgar on
August 20, 2003 of the USCF laptop computer which would have contained
information about the missing two million dollars of USCF funds.
33. In 1999 the USCF had approximately two million dollars on deposit
with the Oberweis Fund, a mutual fund listed on the New York Stock
Exchange.
24. By 2003 that two million dollars had been reduced to five dollars.
Since there was no point in having an account with only five dollars
in it, the Oberweis account was closed. When the account was closed,
Frank Niro, who was the Executive Director at the time, changed the
accounting system to hide the horrific losses. The real question is:
Who lost the money and what happened to it? The two Executive
Directors during the relevant period were George DeFeis and Frank
Niro. Both probably padded their resumes to get hired. DeFeis probably
did not really have a Masters Degree in Business administration from
Bernard Baruch School of Finance. Frank Niro claimed that he had
received an award of "Hospital Administrator of the Year" but we have
not been able to find out what hospital and what organization gave
this award. (On this point, Bill Hall is a vast improvement on his
predecessors. Unlike DeFeis and Niro who probably padded their
resumes, Bill Hall honestly admits that he has no qualifications
whatever for the job of Executive Director.) In either case, nearly
two million dollars is missing and the laptop is missing too that
would tell us what happened to the money. Polgar and Truong have
admitted to taking the laptop, which was obviously criminal theft, and
they have refused to return it. Bill Goichberg has made no effort to
recover the laptop. Frank Niro is named as a defendant to this lawsuit
but his own attorney, Proskauer Rose, has been unable to locate him.
Truong and Polgar know where Frank Niro is. They have even visited him
in Washington State fairly recently and posed for pictures with him
there which are on the http://www.susanpolgar.com website, but refuse
to reveal where he can be contacted. Frank Niro has also posted about
this case on Paul Truong's http://www.chessdiscussion.com website so
he certainly knows about it.
25. I personally believe that George DeFeis lost most of the money but
that Frank Niro ripped of a fair piece of change for himself and is
hiding, waiting for the statute of limitations to expire.
26. Meanwhile, Jeff Loomis, who was the Chief Financial Officer under
DeFeis has suddenly reappeared TODAY !!! and has just posted on Susan
Polgar's Chess Discussion group. Perhaps we can bring him in since the
rest of them have absconded.
27. In short, there are more than enough grounds for federal
jurisdiction here. Also, if not here, then where? If this sort of case
does not raise a federal question, it then becomes possible for
someone in Timbuktu, Mali, or in Russia, China or Nigeria to blanket
the Internet with fraudulent postings. We already have millions of
"Nigerian Scam" letters being received in people's email boxes every
day. Undoubtedly, there are people who fall for these scams because
the emails keep coming. Would this court rule that a victim would have
to go to Nigeria to sue them? We also have a United States
Presidential Election coming up and already there have been reports
and complaints of similar Internet scams involving the presidential
candidates. Those cases are much smaller than the instant case in that
here we have 2,464 fake Usenet postings impersonating me and others,
whereas most comparable cases involve just one or two emails.
28. A comparable and relevant case is Global Ministries vs.
Cablevision Lightpath, CV 06-3669 (DRH) decided in the Eastern
District of New York on November 30, 2006. This case involves an issue
in this case, because that case turned on the right to obtain IP
addresses. The Mottershead Report which found that Paul Truong had
made the 2,464 Usenet postings under the name of Sam Sloan tracked the
IP addresses of the various computers used by Truong and matched them
with the computers used by the "Fake Sam Sloan". This showed a
remarkable coincidence in that where ever Paul Truong was the Fake Sam
Sloan was there too. When Paul Truong posted from Rego Park, Queens,
the Fake Sam Sloan posted from Rego Park Queens too. When Paul Truong
moved to Lubbock, Texas to work for Texas Tech University the Fake Sam
Sloan moved there. When Paul Truong and Susan Polgar went to Mexico
City in September 2007 to visit the World Chess Championship, the Fake
Sam Sloan posted from there too. Not only that, but they used the same
computers, the same IP address and the same User Agent String.
29. With this happened consistently over and over again it became
obvious that the Fake Sam Sloan and Paul Truong were one and the same.
30. This is why Paul Truong's primary defense as reported by the New
York Times is that the evidence against him was "illegally" obtained.
31. However, in Global Ministries vs. Cablevision Lightpath, CV
06-3669 (DRH) decided November 30, 2006, the court ruled:
III.Ms. Brown's Constitutional Rights
The court must consider whether granting the petition will violate Ms.
Brown's constitutional rights. The unknown defendant is alleged to
have used Cablevision's services to access the stored electronic
communications of petitioner, without authorization. In addition, the
unknown defendant logged into the e-mail account of an employee of
petitioner and used that person's e-mail to send fictitious messages
of termination to other employees. Such a person has a "minimal
expectation of privacy," if any, in using an Internet service provider
to engage in such tortious conduct. See Sony Music Entertainment, Inc.
V. Does 1-40, 326 F.Supp. 2d 556 (S.AN.Y.2004) ("defendants have
little expectation of privacy in downloading and distributing
copyrighted songs without permission.)
32. In the case presented here, we already know Mr. Truong's IP
addresses. Brian Mottershead found them in the course of his duties as
Administrator of the uschess.org website. Here is where Paul Truong
made his big mistake. As "the Fake Sam Sloan", he personally attacked
Brian Mottershead, thereby giving Mr. Mottershead the incentive to
research and find out who was writing these nasty things about him.
33. On a related subject, Gregory Alexander, who is also a defendant
here, has been contacting the authors of the three reports that prove
that Paul Truong did it and has been making threatening and
intimidating remarks. Gregory Alexander has repeatedly contended that
Brian Mottershead committed a crime by revealing the IP address of
Paul Truong. I suspect that Gregory Alexander may have committed some
offenses related to threatening or intimidating a federal witness.
34. Robert Jones, author of the "Jones Report", wrote the following:
"Just wanted to let you know that I had an odd phone call from someone
purporting to be from the USCF but I'm not sure if that is really the
case. I answered the phone and this guy said he was Gregory Alexander
from the USCF and immediately launched into a series of questions
about my expertise in internet forensics, had I ever given evidence in
court, etc. I was a bit taken aback but figured he was a USCF staffer
or lawyer or something. I was happy to give him that information but
then he asked me if I was aware that Brian Mottershead had hacked into
his account, and was I aware the Paul Truong had criticized him two
weeks before he prepared his report and would that knowledge change my
conclusions on the data analysis.
I explained to him exactly what I say in the report that I performed a
technical analysis of the data associated with the Mottershead report
and that I stand by the conclusions in my report. I said that I don't
know Truong, Mottershead or any of the other players in this dispute.
He then went on to say that Truong is a friend of his and that he has
evidence that Truong is not involved in any of this - something about
a friend of his has seen plane tickets (?) - and that making a defense
against the claims out there against Truong is very difficult. I
reiterated that my analysis was a straight technical analysis, done in
response to your request, as an independent review of Mottershead's
report.
35. Gregory Alexander is not "from the USCF". He is a close associate
of Polgar and Truong. He is also the webmaster of their website. The
"plane tickets" defense we already know about. It is one of the
standard defenses Truong uses. Another is the "somebody is following
me" defense. The "plane tickets" defense was used in the "Voice of
Reason" case where Mig Greengard who had previously been one of their
strongest supporters realized that his Daily Dirt website was being
bombarded with postings by all sorts of different people all saying
the same thing and all posting from the same IP address. This is one
of Paul Truong's modus operandi. Truong creates dozens of fake
personalities and posts under their names. When Mig Greengard realized
that all these different identities were the same person, Truong and
Polgar claimed that it could not have been them since they were
traveling at the time and were on an airplane in mid-flight. This is
probably the sort of "rock solid" evidence they claim to have recently
provided to the board proving that it was not them. An Internet gadfly
has posted what he calls "The List of the Blind Monkey" listing so far
41 ridiculous defenses presented by Truong allies which supposedly
prove that they could not possibly be responsible for the 2,464
postings by the Fake Sam Sloan. The "somebody is following me" defense
we know about too. It was also used by Paul Truong when in 2003 it was
proven through IP addresses that he was the same person as "Bob
Bennett".
36. In the last month or so, new fake posters have appeared. Their
postings are "remailed automatically by anonymizing remailer
software". They sometimes sign as "Sam Sloan" but usually do not give
a name at all. Top suspects are Gregory Alexander and Paul Truong but
it could be anybody. These anonymous fakes are posting every day
lately, so please take a look.
37. Another issue in this case concerns the sale of the USCF building
in New Windsor. In November, 2004, the USCF owned a fully paid for
office building in New Windsor, New York. Bill Goichberg took it upon
himself to sell it. He never consulted the board. There was no debate
nor vote on this issue. At least two board members, Frank Brady and
Don Schultz, were adamantly opposed to this sale and would have voted
against had it come up for a vote. Unfortunately, Bill Goichberg who
was Executive Director at the time, seems to treat the USCF as if he
owns it and makes decisions without consulting the delegates or the
board. The complete USCF minutes for every meeting for that period are
available online. One can check the minutes and see that nowhere in
the minutes does it show that the board ever debated, voted on and
passed a resolution to sell the building. In short, the sale of the
building was illegal, without corporate authority.
38. It is important to note that New Windsor is in Orange County which
is in the Southern District of New York. Since most of the bad acts
that are the subject of this lawsuit took place in New Windsor, this
establishes the jurisdiction and venue of this court.
39. Finally, the USCF election itself was rife with fraud. Three times
during the election campaign period I was suspended from posting for
ten days each. Goichberg and Co. appointed the most hostile moderators
they could find to moderate my postings and the postings of anybody
who supported me including as moderators Gregory Alexander, Herbert
Rodney Vaughn and Louis Blair. Not only was I suspended from posting
but anybody who supported me was suspended from posting as well.
Anybody who asked an embarrassing question of Polgar and Truong had
their postings pulled and was suspended from posting. Questions asking
Polgar and Truong whether they were married to each other or not were
not allowed. Questions were not allowed asking about the eleven
national chess championships Truong falsely claims to have won or
about the fake PhD degree Truong claimed to have had or about the
billion dollar corporations Truong claims to have rescued and saved.
More than one thousand postings were pulled by the pro-Truong and pro-
Polgar moderators. Dozens of individual USCF members were suspended
from posting. I protested vehemently at the appointments by Goichberg
of these anti-Sloan and pro-Polgarite moderators. Goichberg supported
Polgar and Truong for election until just before the ballots were
mailed out. Sometimes, Goichberg would appoint a moderator who failed
to understand that his mandate was to stop me and my supporters from
posting. Although vehemently hostile to me at the time they were
appointed, a few of the moderators suddenly saw the light and reversed
course. Examples of this are Ron Suarez and Steve Owens ("Steve of
Tennessee"). When Goichberg and Channing realized that these
moderators were not carrying out their mandate to muzzle me, they
would contact these moderators, telling them to crack down on me and
my supporters. At least two moderators resigned, protesting
interference by the board, and one of the moderators committed
suicide.
40. At a hearing, I will demonstrate and prove that Bill Goichberg and
Joel Channing knew all along that Paul Truong was the "Fake Sam
Sloan". They took no steps to stop him from doing this because it
served their purposes to have someone impersonating me. Because of
these and numerous other irregularities, I will be asking this court
to declare the election null and void and to schedule a new election.
I will also request that this court enjoin Polgar, Truong, Goichberg
and Channing from running for office again or from ever holding office
in the United States Chess Federation again, due to their numerous bad
acts committed by these four defendants.
41. I am attaching as exhibits the three forensic reports that prove
that Paul Truong did it. These are The Mottershead Report, the Jones
Report and the Ulevitch Report. These reports are supported by more
than one thousand pages of data that are available online.
42. In addition, I am attaching two orders of protection of the Queens
Family Court prohibiting Susan Polgar and Paul Truong from abusing
their children (by forcing them to play chess) plus several newspaper
articles about this case. These have been three articles in the print
edition of the New York Times about this case, plus seven additional
articles in the online version of the New York Times, plus articles in
the Boston Globe for December 24, 2007, the New York Post, the Lubbock
Texas Avalanche Journal, the Daily Toreador campus newspaper of Texas
Tech University, plus articles in "The Independent" newspaper in
England. There are at least twenty online blogs and websites devoted
to this case and there have been at least one thousand Internet
postings about this case. (If this court or any of the attorneys have
received any "nutty" or "screwball" letters about this case, I hope
that the court recognizes that I have nothing to do with them. There
are some seriously disturbed people out there who also happen to play
chess.)
43. Also, be prepared to hear the "I am a victim" defense. If you look
at Susan Polgar's blogs and websites you would believe that there is
this massive conspiracy against her involving now the majority of the
Executive Board of the United States Chess Federation (who finally
stripped her of her fake titles on Saturday, February 2, 2008 (two
days ago)). She has recently accused the USCF Executive Majority of
"threatening" her children. According to her, the USCF Board now joins
a vast conspiracy. Co-conspirators include the World Chess Federation
("FIDE"), newspaper reporters in the New York Times and other
publications, the Hungarian Chess Federation and others. This probably
explains why Polgar and Truong switched attorneys two weeks ago. She
has been playing the "Everybody is Against me Because I am a Poor
Jewish Girl" role for the past 25 years. If you look at her
performance on the BBC Broadcast "My Brilliant Brain - Make Me a
Genius", now available on YouTube, you would never imagine that she
never went to school and never learned the basic skills of reading,
writing and arithmetic. Her two children complain that she cannot help
with them with their homework in the second grade because she never
learned that stuff. The only thing she can do is play chess (very
well). She communicates with the outside world by emails and Internet
postings that are undoubtedly written by Paul Truong and others, that
she will no doubt disavow when the time comes. She already claims that
she did not write her book "Queen of the King's Game" which attacks
numerous of her past sponsors and benefactors.
WHEREFORE, the motions to dismiss this case must be denied.

You fail to understand. Yes, we need to cut expenses, but the
place to cut is not to cut the magazine which is the only benefit most
members receive.
We need to cut staff. We have a bloated, overpaid and under-worked
staff. We have a lazy, unqualified and incompetent Executive Director
who had never even worked in an office before he was hired as
Executive Director and is often out "sick". At the May 20, 2007 board
meeting at Stillwater Oklahoma I asked him to provide a simple list of
how many employees we have and brief job descriptions. Bill Hall
refused to answer the questions or to provide the list. We still do
not know how many employees we have. We still do not know what
happened to the $2 million we had in a money market fund in 1999 that
subsequently disappeared. In 2003 we had 23 employees and we also had
$6 million in revenues. Now, I understand that we have 28 employees
and only $3.1 million in revenues. Why will nobody answer the
questions about where all the money went? Why are we taking about
eliminating one magazine and cutting the other, both of which are
produced out of the office, when we should be talking about cutting
our payroll?

Talk about self-serving, please note that she says that Channing
agrees with her, but it was Channing who did the things she complains
about.
It was Channing's idea to play $50,000 to upgrade the website and
he had us hire an Internet guru to tell us how to do that.
It was also Channing's idea that we pay $15,000 for "Internet
Insurance".
It was also Channing's idea to spend $10,000 to fly all the USCF
insiders to Florida for a "retreat".
In short, most of the wasteful expenditures that Susan complains
about were done by Channing who is now her ally.
Also, recall that after making a brief presentation at the Finance
Committee Workshop in Cherry Hill, Channing said, "If you have any
questions, I will be in the bar."
He is still in the bar and he has never answered any of our
questions.

__________________________________________
AFFIDAVIT IN OPPOSITION TO MOTION
TO DISMISS ON FEDERAL QUESTIONS ISSUE
__________________________________________
Samuel H. Sloan, the plaintiff herein, being duly sworn, deposes
and says:
1. I make this affidavit in opposition to the motion by various
defendants to dismiss this action on the grounds of lack of a federal
question.
2. Frankly, I consider the issues raised by the moving defendants
to be frivolous. There are a great abundance of federal questions
here. I think the defendants are just trying to buy time and to
convince their clients that they are doing the best they can.
3. The United States Chess Federation ("USCF") has 86,000 members.
Every state of the 50 states have members, with the least being
Wyoming with more than 50 members. The USCF represents the United
States of America internationally. We are the equivalent to the United
States Olympic Committee, except that instead of representing the USA
in hundreds of sports, we only represent the USA in one activity,
chess.
4. It is obvious that if the United States Olympic Committee or
any other comparable organization such as the National Football League
or the National Basketball Association had experienced the massive
election fraud, identity theft, online forgery, impersonations,
misappropriations of funds and so on as have characterized the USCF in
the past two years, the FBI would have moved in already and started
making arrests. There would be people in jail now. This has not
happened because there is not that much interest in chess.
5. There have been three forensic reports produced thus far. There
are the Mottershead Report, the Jones Report and the Ulevitch Report.
These three reports all reach the same conclusion. The Mottershead
Report has proved absolutely, conclusively that Hoainhan "Paul" Truong
sent 2464 fake or forged Internet postings over a two year period from
June 25, 2005 until October, 2007. That is two thousand four hundred
sixty four postings, most of which impersonated me, Sam Sloan,
although some of them impersonated Ray Gordon, Andrew Zito and other
real or fake personalities.
6. As to why I in particular would be the target of most of these
impersonations, the best way to explain it is that I am the equivalent
of the "Jack Anderson" of chess. Jack Anderson as you will recall was
a newspaper columnists reporting on J. Edgar Hoover's apparent ties to
the Mafia, Watergate, the John F. Kennedy assassination, the Nixon
Administration, the Savings and Loan scandal, the CIA plans to
assassinate Fidel Castro, the Iran-Contra affair and so on. He was a
crusader against corruption. Henry Kissinger called Jack Anderson "the
most dangerous man in America". The USCF Insiders such as Bill
Goichberg have the same view of me as Richard Nixon had of Jack
Anderson.
7. Because I have a wide readership, anybody wanting to bring down
the USCF leadership might decide to impersonate me. Paul Truong is a
complete nobody in the world of chess. When he started impersonating
me, nobody would have bothered to read anything written by him.
Therefore, when he wanted to attack somebody he would sign my name
rather than his own name to his postings. Over the period of two and a
half years, Truong, whom we now know to have been "The Fake Sam Sloan"
as he was called, attacked virtually every significant chess
personality except for Paul Truong, Susan Polgar and Joel Channing.
The fact that he never attacked Joel Channing is one of the reasons
that I believe that Joel Channing was in on this from the beginning.
8. I wish to emphasize that it is 100% proven that Paul Truong did
this. Not merely 99% sure, not merely "beyond reasonable doubt", but
absolutely 100% certain, no doubt at all.
9. Next, the motivation. The motivation is clear: He did it to
attack the rivals of his wife, Susan Polgar, and ultimately to seize
control of the financial assets of the United States Chess Federation,
which has $3.2 million in annual revenues.
10. One of the most frequent targets of attack by "The Fake Sam
Sloan" is Beatriz Marinello, a woman chess grandmaster and President
of the United States Chess Federation from 2003 to 2005. The Fake Sam
Sloan has called her a "####" one hundred times in Internet postings
over a period of two years. Paul Truong, this time not in disguise,
went to the Scholastic Counsel and other scholastic groups and told
them that Marinello was a ####. Truong also called me, Sam Sloan, on
the phone in 2004 and told me that Marinello was a ####.
11. Most of the postings by the Fake Sam Sloan, whom we now know
to be Truong, contained sexual references, usually making claims about
the sexual preferences of the targets. For example, Grandmaster
Alexandria Kosteniuk, a Russian girl who lives in Florida, is called
"a Lolita". Truong also conducted a campaign to kick Kosteniuk's name
off the USCF Rating lists, since Kostenuik was rated higher than Susan
Polgar (who falsely claims to be a "world champion") and to kick the
picture of Kosteniuk out of Chess Life magazine to be replaced by
pictures of Polgar. (In 2004-2005 most issues of Chess Life magazine
had pictures of Kosteniuk. In 2006-2007 almost every issue of Chess
Life had pictures of Polgar.)
12. Among the most frequent other targets of attack by The Fake
Sam Sloan were US Woman's Champion Jennifer Shahade, former USCF
President Don Schultz, and Chairman of the Seattle Chess Foundation
Erik Anderson.
13. Please remember that most of these thousands of attacks were
signed "Sam Sloan". It thus appeared that I, the Real Sam Sloan, was
attacking all of these people. Also, the 2464 "Fake Sam Sloan"
postings found by the Mottershead Report to have been made by Paul
Truong were crossposted to two and sometimes three usenet groups,
rec.games.chess.politics , rec.games.chess.misc and alt.chess. Thus,
counting the crosspostings, there were more than five thousand
postings. These postings were not made on just one website located in
just one state. They were made on Usenet and broadcast all over the
entire world and picked up and preserved in every country of the
world. The total readership of these postings was at least in the
hundreds of thousands and probably in the millions.
14. In challenging the jurisdiction of this court to consider this
issue, the defendants have cited exactly one case. Best Van Lines,
Inc. v. Walker, 490 F.3d 239 (2d Cir. 2007). However, that case does
not lead to the conclusion they seek, for several reasons.
15. Best Van Lines, Inc. v. Walker, 490 F.3d 239 (2d Cir. 2007)
involved a website in Iowa that posts reviews of moving companies. I
have looked at this website and it contains statements such as "this
moving company scratched my furniture", "that moving company lost my
suitcase" and so on. I have yet to find a favorable review of any
moving company on that website.
16. Best Van Lines is a moving company located in New York that
was subjected to allegedly defamatory remarks by the Walker website in
Iowa. As a result, suit was filed in the Southern District of New
York.
17. The District Court ruled and the Second Circuit affirmed that
Best Van Lines must sue in Iowa, where the Walker website is located.
By analogy, this is similar to a case of a small-town in newspaper in
Iowa that has a few readers in New York.
18. However, the case presented here is different for a number of
reasons. One is that the defamatory postings were not made on a simple
website. They were broadcast and propagated all around the world in
every country of the world. In the Best Van Lines case, if the
computer hosting the Walker website were to crash, nobody in the
entire world would be able to see it any more. However, in the case
presented here, if one computer or even one hundred computers crash,
the Truong postings will still be visible in many other places.
Indeed, when Truong was apprehended, he stayed up all night in Mexico
City where he was at the time trying to delete as many of these
postings as he possibly could. He was able to delete many of them from
Google Newsgroups, because that is where he had first posted them, but
he still has not been able to delete them from Forte Inc. Agent, from
Giganews.com or from the many other services that carry these
newsgroups.
19. William Brock in his motion to dismiss states that his
postings which in general stated that I am a child molester were all
posted from his CPA Office in the Chicago Loop. However, the location
of his personal computer is of little moment. What is important is
where he posted them. Not only did he post them on the Usenet groups
around the world, but he posted them on such places as the New York
Times website which is obviously located in New York State.
20. An example of Brock's postings on the New York Times website
is at:
http://gambit.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/10 ... l-a-forum/
21. There, you will see numerous postings by William Brock on the
New York Times website where he provides links to places where, he
claims, one can find proof that I am a child molester and a child
pornographer. Mr. Brock is obviously a sick, disturbed man. Clearly,
Mr. Brock cannot now claim that the New York courts have no
jurisdiction over this.
22. Best Van Lines, Inc. v. Walker, 490 F.3d 239, 250-51 (2d Cir.
2007) involved a moving company in New York complaining about a
website in Iowa. However, in the case before this court, defendants
have made a point of posting on forums read by the widest possible
readership which are broadcast Worldwide. Even after the filing and
service of this lawsuit, Defendant William Brock has made defamatory
postings to the New York Times website which is, of course, located in
New York. The New York Times has published ten articles about this
case, three in the paper print version of the newspaper and the other
seven on the online or "Gambit Blog" of the Newspaper. William Brock
has continued posting his defamatory material accusing me of being a
pornographer to these New York Times Gambit Blogs even while this case
has been pending before this court. The first of these articles in the
New York Times was "Chess Group Officials Accused of Using Internet to
Hurt Rivals" by DYLAN LOEB McCLAIN Published: October 8, 2007 Kindly
take a look at it.
23. Similarly, William Brock has posted these claims that I am a
child molester to the "Daily Dirt" column of the chessninja.com
website which is based in New York and operated by Mig Greengard in
Greenwich Village, New York City and he has posted to the Susan Polgar
Blogspot at susanpolgar.blogspot.com during which time and until
approximately May, 2007 Susan Polgar resided in Rego Park, Queens, New
York. Mr. Brock has posted 97 times to my biography on the Wikipedia
Encyclopedia. Most importantly, William Brock has posted thousands of
times since 2004 to the Internet Usenet groups
rec.games.chess.politics and rec.games.chess.misc . These Usenet
postings are not maintained at any one location. They are propagated
and broadcast all over the world. If one computer crashes there will
be plenty of others to back it up. That is the reason why the Internet
is called "the World Wide Web". Although Google Newsgroups is the most
popular place to post to and view these newsgroups, there are many
others including Forte Agent and Giganews.
24. There is a big difference between the Bill Brock postings and
the Paul Truong postings. Bill Brock signs his own name. He openly
states that he is the poster and has many times challenged and dared
me to sue him.
25. Paul Truong, however, signs MY NAME to his postings. He says
that he is me. This is a much more serious case of Internet Identity
Theft, Forgery and Impersonation.
26. Paul Truong does post under his own name on the USCF Issues
Forum on the uschess.org website, because Fake-Name postings are not
allowed there (This rule was enacted to stop Herbert Rodney Vaughn who
posts as tanstaafl from posting his anonymous attacks on me.) Here is
a posting by Truong on Tue Jul 25, 2006 11:32 am #16962
Well, as a life member of the USCF and someone who devote a lot of
time, energy and money to promote scholastic chess, and someone with
children playing chess, the background of a board member is vital to
me, especially when someone has a horrific sexual history with minors.
You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. Sam
Sloan is a danger to my children, the young members of the USCF and a
serious legal liability to the USCF. Frankly, it appalls me the there
are people who are willing to close their eyes and accept this
monster.
27. As we now know, the real danger to Truong's children is Paul
Truong himself because two judges of the Queens Family Court, Judge
Rhea Friedman and Referee Mildred T. Negron, have issued orders of
protection prohibiting Paul Truong and Susan Polgar from inflicting
corporal punishment on their children for refusing to play chess. I
have never received any such order of this nature from any judge.
28. Not only has Bill Brock stated that I am a child molester
thousand of times on the public newgroups, but he was also allowed to
post that on the USCF website:
by billbrock on Fri Jul 21, 2006 11:19 am #16303
For the record: Sam Sloan is a convicted felon. His two felony
convictions directly impacted the safety and well-being of his
children, but were not sexual in nature AFAIK.
For the record: I maintain that Sloan is a child molester by his
self-admitted conduct. He has never been convicted of such.
29. On this last point, I ask this court to search Lexus-Nexus and
find the 6-3 decision by the Virginia Court of Appeals which affirmed
my conviction. Please read carefully the opinion by the three
dissenting judges. That dissenting opinion makes it clear that I was
not remotely guilty of anything and could not possibly have been
convicted in a properly conducted trial with a proper defense.
30. All this pertains to just one count of the complaint, namely
the thousands of Internet postings by Truong and Brock impersonating
me or calling me a "child molester" and other names.
31. There are four other counts to the complaint, numerous sub-
counts and numerous causes of action.
32. One of these concerns the criminal theft by Truong and Polgar
on August 20, 2003 of the USCF laptop computer which would have
contained information about the missing two million dollars of USCF
funds.
33. In 1999 the USCF had approximately two million dollars on
deposit with the Oberweis Fund, a mutual fund listed on the New York
Stock Exchange.
24. By 2003 that two million dollars had been reduced to five
dollars. Since there was no point in having an account with only five
dollars in it, the Oberweis account was closed. When the account was
closed, Frank Niro, who was the Executive Director at the time,
changed the accounting system to hide the horrific losses. The real
question is: Who lost the money and what happened to it? The two
Executive Directors during the relevant period were George DeFeis and
Frank Niro. Both probably padded their resumes to get hired. DeFeis
probably did not really have a Masters Degree in Business
administration from Bernard Baruch School of Finance. Frank Niro
claimed that he had received an award of "Hospital Administrator of
the Year" but we have not been able to find out what hospital and what
organization gave this award. (On this point, Bill Hall is a vast
improvement on his predecessors. Unlike DeFeis and Niro who probably
padded their resumes, Bill Hall honestly admits that he has no
qualifications whatever for the job of Executive Director.) In either
case, nearly two million dollars is missing and the laptop is missing
too that would tell us what happened to the money. Polgar and Truong
have admitted to taking the laptop, which was obviously criminal
theft, and they have refused to return it. Bill Goichberg has made no
effort to recover the laptop. Frank Niro is named as a defendant to
this lawsuit but his own attorney, Proskauer Rose, has been unable to
locate him. Truong and Polgar know where Frank Niro is. They have even
visited him in Washington State fairly recently and posed for pictures
with him there which are on the http://www.susanpolgar.com website,
but refuse to reveal where he can be contacted. Frank Niro has also
posted about this case on Paul Truong's http://www.chessdiscussion.com
website so he certainly knows about it.
25. I personally believe that George DeFeis lost most of the money
but that Frank Niro ripped of a fair piece of change for himself and
is hiding, waiting for the statute of limitations to expire.
26. Meanwhile, Jeff Loomis, who was the Chief Financial Officer
under DeFeis has suddenly reappeared TODAY !!! and has just posted on
Susan Polgar's Chess Discussion group. Perhaps we can bring him in
since the rest of them have absconded.
27. In short, there are more than enough grounds for federal
jurisdiction here. Also, if not here, then where? If this sort of case
does not raise a federal question, it then becomes possible for
someone in Timbuktu, Mali, or in Russia, China or Nigeria to blanket
the Internet with fraudulent postings. We already have millions of
"Nigerian Scam" letters being received in people's email boxes every
day. Undoubtedly, there are people who fall for these scams because
the emails keep coming. Would this court rule that a victim would have
to go to Nigeria to sue them? We also have a United States
Presidential Election coming up and already there have been reports
and complaints of similar Internet scams involving the presidential
candidates. Those cases are much smaller than the instant case in that
here we have 2,464 fake Usenet postings impersonating me and others,
whereas most comparable cases involve just one or two emails.
28. A comparable and relevant case is Global Ministries vs.
Cablevision Lightpath, CV 06-3669 (DRH) decided in the Eastern
District of New York on November 30, 2006. This case involves an issue
in this case, because that case turned on the right to obtain IP
addresses. The Mottershead Report which found that Paul Truong had
made the 2,464 Usenet postings under the name of Sam Sloan tracked the
IP addresses of the various computers used by Truong and matched them
with the computers used by the "Fake Sam Sloan". This showed a
remarkable coincidence in that where ever Paul Truong was the Fake Sam
Sloan was there too. When Paul Truong posted from Rego Park, Queens,
the Fake Sam Sloan posted from Rego Park Queens too. When Paul Truong
moved to Lubbock, Texas to work for Texas Tech University the Fake Sam
Sloan moved there. When Paul Truong and Susan Polgar went to Mexico
City in September 2007 to visit the World Chess Championship, the Fake
Sam Sloan posted from there too. Not only that, but they used the same
computers, the same IP address and the same User Agent String.
29. With this happened consistently over and over again it became
obvious that the Fake Sam Sloan and Paul Truong were one and the same.
30. This is why Paul Truong's primary defense as reported by the
New York Times is that the evidence against him was "illegally"
obtained.
31. However, in Global Ministries vs. Cablevision Lightpath, CV
06-3669 (DRH) decided November 30, 2006, the court ruled:
III.Ms. Brown's Constitutional Rights
The court must consider whether granting the petition will violate
Ms. Brown's constitutional rights. The unknown defendant is alleged to
have used Cablevision's services to access the stored electronic
communications of petitioner, without authorization. In addition, the
unknown defendant logged into the e-mail account of an employee of
petitioner and used that person's e-mail to send fictitious messages
of termination to other employees. Such a person has a "minimal
expectation of privacy," if any, in using an Internet service provider
to engage in such tortious conduct. See Sony Music Entertainment, Inc.
V. Does 1-40, 326 F.Supp. 2d 556 (S.AN.Y.2004) ("defendants have
little expectation of privacy in downloading and distributing
copyrighted songs without permission.)
32. In the case presented here, we already know Mr. Truong's IP
addresses. Brian Mottershead found them in the course of his duties as
Administrator of the uschess.org website. Here is where Paul Truong
made his big mistake. As "the Fake Sam Sloan", he personally attacked
Brian Mottershead, thereby giving Mr. Mottershead the incentive to
research and find out who was writing these nasty things about him.
33. On a related subject, Gregory Alexander, who is also a
defendant here, has been contacting the authors of the three reports
that prove that Paul Truong did it and has been making threatening and
intimidating remarks. Gregory Alexander has repeatedly contended that
Brian Mottershead committed a crime by revealing the IP address of
Paul Truong. I suspect that Gregory Alexander may have committed some
offenses related to threatening or intimidating a federal witness.
34. Robert Jones, author of the "Jones Report", wrote the
following:
"Just wanted to let you know that I had an odd phone call from
someone purporting to be from the USCF but I'm not sure if that is
really the case. I answered the phone and this guy said he was Gregory
Alexander from the USCF and immediately launched into a series of
questions about my expertise in internet forensics, had I ever given
evidence in court, etc. I was a bit taken aback but figured he was a
USCF staffer or lawyer or something. I was happy to give him that
information but then he asked me if I was aware that Brian Mottershead
had hacked into his account, and was I aware the Paul Truong had
criticized him two weeks before he prepared his report and would that
knowledge change my conclusions on the data analysis.
I explained to him exactly what I say in the report that I
performed a technical analysis of the data associated with the
Mottershead report and that I stand by the conclusions in my report. I
said that I don't know Truong, Mottershead or any of the other players
in this dispute. He then went on to say that Truong is a friend of his
and that he has evidence that Truong is not involved in any of this -
something about a friend of his has seen plane tickets (?) - and that
making a defense against the claims out there against Truong is very
difficult. I reiterated that my analysis was a straight technical
analysis, done in response to your request, as an independent review
of Mottershead's report.
35. Gregory Alexander is not "from the USCF". He is a close
associate of Polgar and Truong. He is also the webmaster of their
website. The "plane tickets" defense we already know about. It is one
of the standard defenses Truong uses. Another is the "somebody is
following me" defense. The "plane tickets" defense was used in the
"Voice of Reason" case where Mig Greengard who had previously been one
of their strongest supporters realized that his Daily Dirt website was
being bombarded with postings by all sorts of different people all
saying the same thing and all posting from the same IP address. This
is one of Paul Truong's modus operandi. Truong creates dozens of fake
personalities and posts under their names. When Mig Greengard realized
that all these different identities were the same person, Truong and
Polgar claimed that it could not have been them since they were
traveling at the time and were on an airplane in mid-flight. This is
probably the sort of "rock solid" evidence they claim to have recently
provided to the board proving that it was not them. An Internet gadfly
has posted what he calls "The List of the Blind Monkey" listing so far
41 ridiculous defenses presented by Truong allies which supposedly
prove that they could not possibly be responsible for the 2,464
postings by the Fake Sam Sloan. The "somebody is following me" defense
we know about too. It was also used by Paul Truong when in 2003 it was
proven through IP addresses that he was the same person as "Bob
Bennett".
36. In the last month or so, new fake posters have appeared. Their
postings are "remailed automatically by anonymizing remailer
software". They sometimes sign as "Sam Sloan" but usually do not give
a name at all. Top suspects are Gregory Alexander and Paul Truong but
it could be anybody. These anonymous fakes are posting every day
lately, so please take a look.
37. Another issue in this case concerns the sale of the USCF
building in New Windsor. In November, 2004, the USCF owned a fully
paid for office building in New Windsor, New York. Bill Goichberg took
it upon himself to sell it. He never consulted the board. There was no
debate nor vote on this issue. At least two board members, Frank Brady
and Don Schultz, were adamantly opposed to this sale and would have
voted against had it come up for a vote. Unfortunately, Bill Goichberg
who was Executive Director at the time, seems to treat the USCF as if
he owns it and makes decisions without consulting the delegates or the
board. The complete USCF minutes for every meeting for that period are
available online. One can check the minutes and see that nowhere in
the minutes does it show that the board ever debated, voted on and
passed a resolution to sell the building. In short, the sale of the
building was illegal, without corporate authority.
38. It is important to note that New Windsor is in Orange County
which is in the Southern District of New York. Since most of the bad
acts that are the subject of this lawsuit took place in New Windsor,
this establishes the jurisdiction and venue of this court.
39. Finally, the USCF election itself was rife with fraud. Three
times during the election campaign period I was suspended from posting
for ten days each. Goichberg and Co. appointed the most hostile
moderators they could find to moderate my postings and the postings of
anybody who supported me including as moderators Gregory Alexander,
Herbert Rodney Vaughn and Louis Blair. Not only was I suspended from
posting but anybody who supported me was suspended from posting as
well. Anybody who asked an embarrassing question of Polgar and Truong
had their postings pulled and was suspended from posting. Questions
asking Polgar and Truong whether they were married to each other or
not were not allowed. Questions were not allowed asking about the
eleven national chess championships Truong falsely claims to have won
or about the fake PhD degree Truong claimed to have had or about the
billion dollar corporations Truong claims to have rescued and saved.
More than one thousand postings were pulled by the pro-Truong and pro-
Polgar moderators. Dozens of individual USCF members were suspended
from posting. I protested vehemently at the appointments by Goichberg
of these anti-Sloan and pro-Polgarite moderators. Goichberg supported
Polgar and Truong for election until just before the ballots were
mailed out. Sometimes, Goichberg would appoint a moderator who failed
to understand that his mandate was to stop me and my supporters from
posting. Although vehemently hostile to me at the time they were
appointed, a few of the moderators suddenly saw the light and reversed
course. Examples of this are Ron Suarez and Steve Owens ("Steve of
Tennessee"). When Goichberg and Channing realized that these
moderators were not carrying out their mandate to muzzle me, they
would contact these moderators, telling them to crack down on me and
my supporters. At least two moderators resigned, protesting
interference by the board, and one of the moderators committed
suicide.
40. At a hearing, I will demonstrate and prove that Bill Goichberg
and Joel Channing knew all along that Paul Truong was the "Fake Sam
Sloan". They took no steps to stop him from doing this because it
served their purposes to have someone impersonating me. Because of
these and numerous other irregularities, I will be asking this court
to declare the election null and void and to schedule a new election.
I will also request that this court enjoin Polgar, Truong, Goichberg
and Channing from running for office again or from ever holding office
in the United States Chess Federation again, due to their numerous bad
acts committed by these four defendants.
41. I am attaching as exhibits the three forensic reports that
prove that Paul Truong did it. These are The Mottershead Report, the
Jones Report and the Ulevitch Report. These reports are supported by
more than one thousand pages of data that are available online.
42. In addition, I am attaching two orders of protection of the
Queens Family Court prohibiting Susan Polgar and Paul Truong from
abusing their children (by forcing them to play chess) plus several
newspaper articles about this case. These have been three articles in
the print edition of the New York Times about this case, plus seven
additional articles in the online version of the New York Times, plus
articles in the Boston Globe for December 24, 2007, the New York Post,
the Lubbock Texas Avalanche Journal, the Daily Toreador campus
newspaper of Texas Tech University, plus articles in "The Independent"
newspaper in England. There are at least twenty online blogs and
websites devoted to this case and there have been at least one
thousand Internet postings about this case. (If this court or any of
the attorneys have received any "nutty" or "screwball" letters about
this case, I hope that the court recognizes that I have nothing to do
with them. There are some seriously disturbed people out there who
also happen to play chess.)
43. Also, be prepared to hear the "I am a victim" defense. If you
look at Susan Polgar's blogs and websites you would believe that there
is this massive conspiracy against her involving now the majority of
the Executive Board of the United States Chess Federation (who finally
stripped her of her fake titles on Saturday, February 2, 2008 (two
days ago)). She has recently accused the USCF Executive Majority of
"threatening" her children. According to her, the USCF Board now joins
a vast conspiracy. Co-conspirators include the World Chess Federation
("FIDE"), newspaper reporters in the New York Times and other
publications, the Hungarian Chess Federation and others. This probably
explains why Polgar and Truong switched attorneys two weeks ago. She
has been playing the "Everybody is Against me Because I am a Poor
Jewish Girl" role for the past 25 years. If you look at her
performance on the BBC Broadcast "My Brilliant Brain - Make Me a
Genius", now available on YouTube, you would never imagine that she
never went to school and never learned the basic skills of reading,
writing and arithmetic. Her two children complain that she cannot help
with them with their homework in the second grade because she never
learned that stuff. The only thing she can do is play chess (very
well). She communicates with the outside world by emails and Internet
postings that are undoubtedly written by Paul Truong and others, that
she will no doubt disavow when the time comes. She already claims that
she did not write her book "Queen of the King's Game" which attacks
numerous of her past sponsors and benefactors.
WHEREFORE, the motions to dismiss this case must be denied.

All of the postings 5 postings listed above, for which I was suspended
for one year, were all posted simultaneously here too. You can search
and find them easily.
None of them were in any way objectionable.
They pointed out things like the fact that the USCF is losing $300,000
so far this year. They made what was intended to be helpful
suggestions to change that.
Unfortunately, Bill Hall, who controls the moderators, will not brook
any implied criticism. These moderators were all notoriously anti-Sam
Sloan at the time they were appointed and indeed that is the reason
why they were appointed.

No, this is an unmoderated USENET group.
In any event, he does not seem to be an evil man, but unfortunately he
is a bit confused about a few things, which has led to some unwise
actions. Some have reacted to him as though he were evil, which is

Beware! VH-1's "The Pickup Artst" was FRAUDULENT. Six of the eight

their prromised acting credit. What else has Mystery lied about?
